With the award of the best projects by category, the XXIV National Exhibition of Science and Technology UBB has ended, which aims to facilitate the meeting of students and educators on scientific issues, and to know, discuss and evaluate the results of developed projects.

The activity, organized by the UBB Faculty of Sciences in collaboration with Colegio Concepción San Pedro, resumed the confrontational style, within the framework of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development, with 68 projects submitted, as well as presentations in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and technology, among others Others, by primary and secondary school students from educational institutions from Antofagasta districts to Los Lagos.

The first places by category went to easy-to-use natural fertilizer projects from the Porvenir School in Chiguayante; Bio-friendly: Obtaining and digesting biogas through a sustainable bioanalyzer using rabbit feces, from Kingston College in Concepcion; Sleep quality in youth from the municipality of Quilon, from the Paolo Freire Bicentennial School in Quilon, Chiloe; Avocado and olive tree seeds: a biologically active ability that would allow to delay the transformation of antioxidant-sensitive foods to brown, from Liceo San Agustín de Concepción; Natural Fertilizer, from Wanelen We School in Castro, Chiloe; Water Paradox in Chiloe, of Paolo Freire Bicentennial High School in Quilon, Chiloe.

I reiterate my congratulations to the College of Science and the organizing team.”

The Dean of Colegio Concepción San Pedro, Roberto Moura Mila, highlighted the commitment, perseverance and commitment of the school community to improve the implementation of its projects, as well as to promote care for the environment and the promotion of sustainable development.
